Garment cleaning appliance

A garment cleaning appliance comprising:

• a housing having a chamber to receive garments to be cleaned;
• a steam generator for supplying steam into the chamber to clean garments in the chamber;
• and
• rinsing means arranged within the chamber to direct a steady stream of rinse water, condensed from steam alone, onto garments received in the chamber to rinse the garments via the steady stream of rinse water condensed from steam alone, with no additional water feed, supply or pump to provide or move rinse water to a top of the chamber, wherein the rinsing means comprises a condensing element that includes a (i) a lower surface that faces the garments and is exposed to steam in the chamber and (ii) an upper surface not exposed to steam in the chamber, the condensing element further having a W-shape cross-section and a surface area that covers a majority of a surface area at the top of the chamber, the condensing element being arranged to condense the steam at the top of the chamber on the lower surface of the condensing element into condensate and further being arranged with lower points of the W-shape cross-section positioned immediately above garment supports in the chamber to direct, via the W-shape cross-section of the lower surface, the condensate as a steady stream of rinse water onto the garments under influence of gravity.
